I’ve spent years studying trauma, treating clients, and doing the work — but nothing prepared me for what surfaced after my mother died.

Her death didn’t just bring grief. It brought old wounds to the surface — trauma I had long buried under functionality, caregiving, and keeping it together.

“How to Grieve Someone You Didn’t Really Like: A Practical Memoir About Complex PTSD”, is my personal journey through that reckoning. It’s about grief tangled with trauma, and how healing begins when we finally stop minimizing what happened to us.

If that resonates, this book is for you.

It’s for all of us still untangling pain from love.
And for those learning that even “good enough” parenting can leave deep wounds.

When my mother died, I didn’t just lose her — I lost the illusion that I was “over” what she did to me.

The grief hit hard… but not because she was gone. It hit because her absence forced me to finally face the trauma I had long been working to heal from. The neglect. The emotional distance. The damage.

In “How to Grieve Someone You Didn't Really Like: A Practical Memoir About Complex PTSD,” I unpack what it looks like to grieve someone who hurt you — and how I continuing the real work of healing.

If you’ve ever felt like your grief was too messy to name, this book is for you.

Not all healing has to come through words.

In this case, EMDR helped a grieving mother process her loss—
but her anxiety remained.

Then we added neurofeedback and her body found calm in just five minutes.
It’s not either/or. It’s both.

Healing from terrible things is hard and takes a multi-faceted approach. Please reach out and get the help you need.

When I started the process of opening my part-time practice in New York, I anticipated the excitement of expanding from rural Oklahoma to the big city.

What I didn’t expect? Endless forms, confusing rules, waiting on approvals, and hitting roadblocks at every turn.

Beginnings aren’t always shiny or glamorous—even when it’s New York City.

But even with all the setbacks, it’s worth it. Because growth happens in the messy middle, too.

📌 Save this as a reminder for the next time your “new beginning” doesn’t feel so shiny. I want you to feel encouraged!

No one talks about it, but grief doesn’t always come with tears.
Sometimes it comes with numbness. Anger. Even a sense of relief.

If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone.
My new book, How to Grieve for Someone That You Didn’t Really Like, is the guide I wish I had when I was walking through that silence and guilt.

Available now!

🍂 The Healing Power of Gratitude 🍂

This Thanksgiving, I want to challenge you to take gratitude from a feeling into a practice.

Every day this week, write down 3 things you’re grateful for—no matter how big or small.

☕ A quiet cup of coffee
🌤️ A moment of peace in the chaos
👂 Someone who really listened

Gratitude is powerful—it retrains your brain, regulates your emotions, and helps your body heal. Especially when you’re walking through grief, trauma, or just a tough season… gratitude brings you back to the present.

You don’t have to wait until things are perfect to be thankful. Start now. Start small. Start healing.

What are you grateful for today? 🍁👇

I once worked with a patient who struggled for years. We tried different medications, adjusted doses, and looked at every angle. But nothing seemed to truly help.

The turning point wasn’t a new prescription. It was when they finally left an abusive environment. That one decision created space for healing in a way no pill ever could.

As a psychiatric provider, I’ve seen this pattern again and again: medication and therapy can help, but if someone’s environment is toxic, healing often stalls.

Healing isn’t only about what’s happening inside you—it’s also about what’s happening around you. Sometimes the most powerful medicine is removing yourself from harmful circumstances.

Have you ever noticed how your environment impacts your mental health?
